"John & Jen" - WA Premiere

From its 2007 sell out season of "I Love you, You're Perfect, Now Change!" Page of Wands Theatre Company announces their much anticipated new show for 2008, the WA PREMIERE of "JOHN & JEN - A New Musical", written by Andrew Lippa (Wild Party). A truly original musical that takes a look at the complexities of relationships between brothers and sisters, parents and children. Set against the background of a changing America between 1950 and 1990, JOHN & JEN is a gem of a show brimming with intelligence, wit and beautiful melodies. This is the story of Jen and her relationships with the two Johns of her life - her younger brother, who was killed in Vietnam, and his namesake, her son, who is trying to find his way in a confusing world. With a cast of only two people, JOHN & JEN is a tour-de-force for two actors who take Jen and John (both of them) from childhood, through adolescence and beyond. A chamber musical, beautifully scored for piano, cello and percussion, JOHN & JEN is a musical about connections, commitments and the healing of the human heart.
